(A) Filing. The subdivider or his agent may file a parcel map with the City Engineer for his examination, certification, and recordation within 24 months after the approval or conditional approval of the tentative parcel map. Delivery of a complete and correct map to the City Engineer shall be deemed a timely filing for purposes of this section.
(1) Upon application of the subdivider filed prior to the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the Commission may extend the time for filing a parcel map for a period or periods not exceeding an additional three years if it determines that conditions affecting the parcel map have not substantially changed. Such request for an extension automatically extends the expiration date of the map by 60 days or until the application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved, or denied, whichever comes first.
(2) In any case where a parcel map has not been recorded within 24 months or such extended period of time as may be granted by the Planning Commission, approval of a new tentative parcel map shall be required. A parcel map shall be prepared by, or under the direction of, a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor and shall substantially conform to the tentative parcel map and conditions thereto as approved by the Planning Commission.
(B) Fees. A tracing of the parcel map shall be filed with the City Engineer. In addition, the subdivider shall deposit with the city the recorder's fee for recording the parcel map and fees for checking the map, the amount of such fees to be set from time to time by resolution of the Council.
(C) Form of parcel map. The parcel map shall conform to the provisions of § 152.072 of this chapter for final maps where applicable. The map shall show the definite location of the parcel or parcels and particularly their relation to surrounding surveys. The location of any remainder of the original parcel shall be shown, but need not be shown as a matter of survey, but only by reference to the existing record boundaries if such remainder has a gross area of five acres or more. The parcel map may be compiled from record data when sufficient survey information exists on filed maps to locate and retrace the exterior boundary lines of the parcel map and when the location of at least one of these boundary lines can be established from an existing monument line. In any case, the parcel map may be based upon a field survey made in conformance with the Land Surveyor's Act.
(D) Consent by owner. The parcel map shall contain a certificate which shall be signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the real property being subdivided, consenting to the preparation and recording of the parcel map. Such signatures shall be in accordance with the provisions of § 152.073 of this chapter pertaining to final maps.
(E) Dedications. If dedication of streets, alleys, walkways, easements, public utility easements or other public ways or access rights are required by the Commission as conditions of approval of a parcel map, such dedications shall either be shown on and offered by a certificate on the final parcel map, or made by separate instrument as determined by the City Engineer. Such certificate or instrument shall be signed by those parties having any record title interest in the real property being subdivided in accordance with the provisions of § 152.073 of this chapter pertaining to final maps.
(F) Engineer's statement. A statement executed by the engineer or surveyor shall be affixed to the map pursuant to Cal. Gov't Code § 66449.
(G) Certification by City Engineer. Upon receipt of the final map, together with the recording fees, and any required improvement security, the City Engineer shall examine the same to determine whether the map is technically correct and substantially conforms with tentative parcel map and with all changes and requirements imposed as conditions of approval by the Commission. The City Engineer shall also refer the parcel map to the secretary of the Planning Commission for examination and determination if all the lots and parcels created by the map conform with the requirements and the zoning regulations of the city. Within 20 days after receiving the parcel map, the City Engineer shall determine whether the parcel map fully conforms with all of the requirements set forth herein and he shall comply with Cal. Gov't Code § 66450.
(H) Acceptance of dedications. Offers of dedication as set forth in division (E) of this section shall be reviewed by the City Engineer for compliance with the conditions of approval imposed by the Commission. If all offers of dedication are in accordance with the requirements of the Commission, the City Engineer shall recommend the acceptance of such dedications by the authorized officials of the city.
(I) Security. If the Commission approves the tentative parcel map, it may grant the subdivider a period of time after the recording of the parcel map in which to complete the installation of the public improvements required as a condition of the map by the Planning Commission. If such a time period is granted, the Planning Commission shall require improvement security to be posted in one of the forms set forth in § 152.076(A).
(J) Division of existing buildings. Prior to the recordation of a parcel map which will result in the division of any existing building or buildings into separate units or parts, the applicant shall secure certification by the Chief Building Official that any building or buildings to be divided will, after division, meet current code standards for new construction. As used in this section, the phrase “current code standards” refers to all standards in the current adopted editions of the Building Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, and Fire Code of the city.
(K) Recordation of parcel map. Upon certification by the City Engineer, the parcel map shall be transmitted to the City Clerk, who shall cause the map to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
